yconic is the place where you can give and get the help you need for your life as a student. To help keep our community an enjoyable, helpful and safe place for all members, please adhere to the following guidelines.

1. Be nice to people. It's okay to provide constructive criticism, but there is no need to insult other members. For example, "X major is over-saturated right now. You might have trouble finding a job" is fine. "Your major is dumb. Have fun working in fast food," is not helpful nor appropriate.

2. Ask actual questions. If you're looking for help with something, titling a thread "HELP, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO" isn't going to appeal to the members that may be best suited to help you. Be specific and title your post with relevant information.

3. Don't abuse the anonymous feature by pretending to be multiple people. Surprise, surprise, we know who posts what :)

4. Please only tag relevant interests when you create a new thread. Adding unrelated interests is unlikely to get you the help you're looking for and can frustrate other members.

5. Avoid spamming. This includes replying to your own thread for the sole purpose of moving it up the discussion feed.

Queen's Arts&amp;Science Course Selection (Please Help!)

For fall semester of 2011,
I chose Global Development Study (100A)
Film (110A) and Psychology (100A) as of right now..
But I have no idea how much unit they worth..
Do they worth 6 units each?
Because I found out that economics, history, and math (my winter semester courses)
are all weighted as 6 units.
But I heard that in university, generally people take 5 courses each semester (each worth 3 credits)
Is it slightly different in Queen's?
I'm just so confused now.. Can someone help me out pleaze?

They changed it around this year
3.0 credits is a half year course.
6.0 credits is a full year course.

When you're just talking about it though, most people just say half credit or full/one credit since this 3.0/6.0 thing is silly.
Students usually take 30.0 credits a year (aka equivalent to 5 full credits which is 5 courses a semester)

FILM110, DEVS100 and PSYC100 are all full year courses.

Just general advice - if you don't plan on majoring in psych or econ, don't take them. They're GPA killers.
